Russian court sentences Vladimir Kara-Murza to 25 years in jail for treason.
abc.net.au/news/russian-vladimir-kara-murza-sentenced-to-25-years-in-jail/102233674A critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin has been sentenced to jail for 25 years after being found guilty of treason and other offences which he has denied.
His sentence in Moscow on Monday is the harshest to be handed down since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In his final speech to the court last week, Kara-Murza had compared his own trial, which was held behind closed doors, to Josef Stalin's show trials in the 1930s.
